The bears are coming out in downtown Boyertown; Coming Out of Hibernation to be held April 19

In celebration that spring is here, the bears are coming out in downtown Boyertown. Come, bring the whole family and join the fun!

“After the harsh winter we just suffered through, everyone deserves a celebration. Coming Out of Hibernation is the perfect venue to come out and kick up your heals. What could be better than games, entertainment and the new railroad?” invites Jake Lea, President of Building a Better Boyertown.

With the generous support of the Borough of Boyertown, Building a Better Boyertown (BBB) is hosting the Coming Out of Hibernation event on Saturday, April 19, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on East Philadelphia Avenue between Washington and Chestnut Streets.

Join Building a Better Boyertown and the promotions committee for a day of family activities on East Philadelphia Avenue, rain or shine. Jump and tumble in the moon bounce, witness the Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust’s train debut, sample from The Sunflower Truck Stop – Mobile Cafe, or snack on fresh goods from the Boyertown Farmers Market. There is so much more to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Children can enjoy interactive activities, win prizes at carnival games, and delight in appearances by Caption Jack and the Easter Bunny. Take note of the 1:00 PM free concert provided at the Historic State Theatre on Reading Avenue. Both young and old will savor tasty refreshments, entertainment, art show, and bear sightings – so don’t miss the fun!
